Like everything on this site, I allocated a ridiculously short amount of time to complete this. It’s still a work in progress. Only 20% completed, so that’s where the bulk of my December holidays is going to. Feel free to drop any critiques!

Cafe

Was hired to create a mockup of a cafe for a client sometime last year. I was given a drawing on a napkin and they expected me to complete a 3D visualisation in a matter of days. That would have been no kick for a seasoned pro, but at that time I was just getting started with maya. Well, needless to say, I pulled it off, but then the image was eventually rejected by the client and I never got paid. So here it is.

Now with the holidays here I finally have the time to upload all the stuff I made in the last semester. Check back for more soon.

Yes I know I should have uploaded this onto my blog a long long time ago but guess what? I was lazy. Here it is, the non youtubed version. Something tells me I’ve got to delete the one on youtube.

Anyway for the uninitiated, this was the final assignment for my Intro to 3D production course at NTU’s School of Art, Design & Media. My first attempt at 3D animation and Maya. Let me know what you guys think in the shoutbox.

Haven’t been posting stuff for a long time. This is one of the things I’ve been so busy with. Will probably do the texturing next week. This looks simple, but i had a tough time figuring out mental ray and subsurface scattering and final gather and global illumination. Still lots to learn man.

Tampines Central Park

As promised, I am posting up an artwork I did for 3D lesson. I was supposed to draw a place that is in one of my earliest memories as a source of inspiration for a model we are going to build. I remembered a lot of my childhood spent in the Tampines Central Park, simply because it was so darn near to my home. Everytime my mum sent me to school on a bicycle we’d always pass by that park. Fond memories.

Decided on using pastels, even though I have never used them before. Started out pretty bad, and I got into sort of a depressive state. If you saw the artwork a few minutes after I started you’ll understand why. I wasn’t sure how to control the colours. Thankfully someone was there to guide me and give me hope. :) Completed it in about 2-3 hours. Drawn from memory.

Now, it’s nothing to brag about. It isn’t like a masterpiece or something. It was my first attempt at pastels and I hope to use them more often although it’s quite difficult to preserve the artwork. It’s like charcoal with colour!

I like to look back and see my progress from time to time, and also to give everyone an idea what I am up to in school. So here goes:

If you are wondering what those white orb thingies are, they’re supposed to be part of a lens flare. Looks like I need to do more studies on that.
